30 seconds to 1 minute regular (city),driving coming off highway engine not hot min 1 min summer city driving truck not loaded or pulling trailer 2 to 3 minutes coming off highway hard pulling with trailer 3 to 5 minutes you can turn heater to hot and fan on high and 3 to 5 minutes engine will...
Turbo lag really better have your turbo and exhaust checked.This engine with complete "green" running technology
has one of the best spool up time for a turbo in any pickup truck.
note check heater core hoses which you most likely have one should be hot and other if working
correctly cooler as core can take 8-10 degrees off of engine. And if engine coolant not correct and
icing coolant should not circulate and engine over heat problem.
Note to this my 2014 does not like...
Those temps scare me I am going to weld a fitting about 6" back from turbo on exhaust and install a IssPro pyrometer. In all of the
class 8 (18 wheeler) trucks I know of and ones that I have drove in Canadian Mountains Gross at 100,000 lbs max want to see is
900 F you are 100% correct have...
Seiko if your truck is still under warranty do not let dealer know you have a product from (Edge),or same product
from another company as big time warranty problems.
Good info.I do not think you are showing off neither anyone else.Please share any info if samples can pinpoint "soot"
in the oil.The technology used in these engines come from Europe and they have had nothing but troubles and they
are removing half of the emission controls and here in North...
If you think you are having problems or if you have had a recent sample done and info showed
there might be problems every second or third oil change would be ok.The class 8 trucks I work on
with Cat,Cummins or Detroit engines most run 250-300 hrs not everybody in the trucking world
may agree...
There is nothing you can add and please don't.If you plan to leave truck sit all winter do not have the DEF tank more than 3/4 full as it
can ,and may freeze and will expand the tank and it will crack.Info I have got from the manufacture(s) shelf life is good for about a year
that is in a...
Thank's for that I have had 4.10 on my mind all week one of the younger tech's at work
got a little jumpy when got a 1 ton serve truck stuck and well yes a 4.10
I turn the heat on when truck has been pulling hard and yes that helps.It cools the engine thus cools the turbo.This
engine design includes a water jacket to help draw away heat as does the oil.Turbos can turn in the excess of 100,000
rpm so as well cooling the extra few minutes slows down the...
Everything is there for a reason.The foam really is to absorb sound.The cover on the battery is to insulate and
protect the battery from heat.Batterys in good condition will fail faster than in the cold.
8th is overdrive.Please note not all of these trucks have the same gearing in the differential,most will have 3.55 gears
which I have and I use tow/haul plus keep transmission in 7 or 8th gear.Some of these trucks will have 4.10 gears which
is even better for heaver trailers.
The trailer is 4,300 lbs dry weight around 5,000 lbs with water use the tow/haul and works good,as well if bad head wind
or cross wind manual shift to 6-7 gear, and getting 13-15 mpg.
Please note when if you use a tuner or any other after market device it puts a strain on the engine and power train,as a comment
